I am new to Android and I don't know what I've done or how to stop it from happening, please help!
These issues only happen after a Factory Restore!
1, How do I stop Market from remembering and re-downloading My Apps that I've installed prior to Restore!
2, When I sign in to my Google account from Accounts & Sync, my contacts show up in People app which is fine but when I hit Menu / More / Linked Contacts there are 5 linked of each contact, I have 80+ contacts that is a lot to delete after each Restore.
More on this, Now I only synced and connected to my PC once and that was when I first received this Phone to sync my contacts.
After a Restore there are no contacts on the Phone or microSD I have no contacts in my GMAIL account and this is my only mail account Synced So these are on Google Server somewhere how do I get rid of these contacts or edit them so I don't have to delete them every time I Restore.

I recently restored data to my phone haveing re-flashed it. I used PIM Backup to restore a backup of phone numbers, calendar entries, appointments, logs etc etc. Then I synced my phone with my computer (of which I have outlook installed which has my full address book within the app).
Following the sync with outlook (and PIM backup), i now have 2 of every phonebook entry in my phone! arghhh! What can I do? I have about 200+ phonebook entries (thus 400+ now), so deleting the duplicates one by one is crazy.
Any help, software or advice guys? (and how can i stop this happening again should I reflash, re-restore and re-sync with outlook?)
Thanks.
from PIM backup delete all conacts then re-sync again if u have the contacs in outlook if u dont have then just after deleting them restore the backup
Where is the option to delete all contacts in PIM?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Options->delete all->contacts
Oh, I hadnt realised it was so simple, Thanks.
Sorry to be a noob but I cant think of a valid way to backup all my contacts on my phone and also any other data stored on the phone memory such as email account.
I have a problem whereby when my phone is set to vibrate, it doesn't when receiving a text message and I have tried all settings to make it, but to no avail, I have been advised to reset to factory settings to restore this back to normal.
Any ideas people?
Your contacts should automatically sync to the Google servers if I'm not mistaken?
How do you mean? auto sync? are you reffering to the Sync mode on PC, or just by using the phone and using the internet google would take a copy?
Desire does auto backups for specific things, not for contacts though (if you are not syncing)
To backup your contacts manually go to People - > Menu ->Import/Export -> Export to SD card
Hi sorry to revive an old thread, but how do you then reinstall the contacts after a factory reset?
Edit: Ignore that, People - menu - import export - import from sd card!
Hi, I have recently flashed my Desire with Gingerbread and I'm having problems with syncing my contacts (people) with my google account.
Before I did the flash I backed up my contacts onto the SD card. I then did the flash and set up my phone with my gmail account. I then restored my contacts from the wrong file on my SD card (a much earlier backup). When I realised that it was the wrong file I erased my contacts and recovered the right file. Now google won't sync my contacts, it just says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I tried to remove the google account, but it won't let me as it is 'required by some applications'
Any suggestions on what i could do to fix this (apart from a full reset)
Import ALL your concats to googlemail directly, e.g. via webinterface. Then go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All, scroll to contacs app, clean its data and cache. Then sync again. Should work.
Thanks that seemed to have worked
Don't forget to use the thanks button.

Ok I think I've done it right lol!
I've decided to play a bit with ROMs.
I've purchased the Titanium Backup Pro and made a full backup of everything (apps and system data which is shown in green in Ti_Pro).
Including "Accounts". First in the list in this screenshot:
I restored everything to AOKP ROM (m5). But right after the restore I didn't have anything in my Settings -> Accounts. I had to start each restored app (Email, Gmail, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.) manually and enter username/password to get my Contacts synced and to get particular account appear in Accounts.
Just after that I had all the accounts ready.
So...
What I'm doing wrong.
How to get everything in place after migrating between ROMs?
PS: No problems with my Apps and App data. Just the accounts now concern me.
Thanks!
Guys , i updated my HTC 10 to the Android Nougat today. i backed up my data on my gmail account and factory reset the phone. After resetting and logging into my gamil account, my settings, messages and wifi etc are note restored. It has never happened before with any of my earlier phones namely, One X, M8. Please help and suggest me how do i restore my messages...
They are really important to me.
Before a factory reset, and of course after saving a few things, I go to settings > accounts & sync > Google > synch all
On reboot after factory reset and loging to my Gmail account, it syncs and it asks if I want to retore all of my apps ans apps data...
Unfortunately, it is not dong that... Maybe there is some issue. Is there any way possible that i can get my data back???? The most important thing is need is my messages.... Text messages i mean. Those are very important to me.
Any help will be appreciated...
Have you looked in Google Drive settings?
